If you are suffering from pain, swelling and tenderness in one or both of your legs (usually your calf) or a heavy ache, warm skin or redness, particularly at the back of your leg, it may be a sign of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The main danger is that the clot may break up and travel up to the lungs blocking blood flow and oxygenation. This can be life-threatening. An ultrasound scan of the legs may be needed.
Pre-scan Preperation
There is no preparation for the scan, just bring yourself along and we will refer you should the result of the scan show indications of DVT. Treatment of DVT usually involves anticoagulation (thinning the blood with medication) whilst the clot dissolves.
Lovely place, Nathan made me feel really comfortable during the scan, very friendly and helpful. Was amazing to see and find out what me and my husband are having for our child and would highly recommend.
Myself and my husband wanted to book a gender scan, and after seeing all the good reviews Numi Scan had we felt like it was the right one to go for. We were not disappointed with our choice, the premises is nice and clean, and Nathan was really personable.
Amazing! I’ve had 5 scans at Numi scan; an early pregnancy reassurance scan, 3 well being scans, and a super star 4D baby scan. Nathan is amazing every single time, the reassurance he’s given me throughout my pregnancy has been an absolute godsend.
